Lots of ugliness happening, across the states. Ignoring of the 2A's prohibitions on screwing with the RKBA, and threats to the ability of people to defend themselves. NV -- fiddling with "frame" and "receiver" definitions; criminalizes gun possession if under 20yrs of age; creates "gun free"...

Challenges to New York’s End Run Around SCOTUS 2nd Amendment Ruling Argued At Second Circuit @ Legal Insurrection, 3/22/23. The Court hears five separate challenges to New York’s Concealed Carry Improvement Act in spirited, three-hour hearing. The challenges (five cases): Christian v...

The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled on the case U.S. v Rahimi, declaring as unconstitutional a ban on 2A-protected rights via a "civil restraining order" that has circumvented the entire "due process" protections afforded by the Constitution when accusing people of crimes or...

Looks like a wrongful death civil lawsuit has been allowed to move forward against Kyle Rittenhouse. It is being brought by the father of a man (Anthony Huber) killed by Rittenhouse during the attempts to murder Rittenhouse in the summer of 2020. (Huber was the one swinging the skateboard from...

Ban on guns with serial numbers removed is unconstitutional -U.S. judge @ Reuters, by Brendan Pierson, 10/13/22. Of course, this is in a U.S. district court and not (yet) appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. But, still. Interesting fallout from the Bruen v NYSRPA case that SCOTUS leveled...

Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives, proposing a simple repeal of the whole of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (1986 amendments), to end it as a means of taxation via erasing it from the tax code. Very early days. It's only been proposed on the floor and...

California has now criminalized "advertising to minors," when it's related to guns. It's rather broadly defined. Which is tantamount to criminalizing outright advertisements aimed at youth, potentially even at the act of showing or training youths in the safe handling or operation of...

Looks like papa's got a new pair o' shoes. The BATFE finally has some "leadership" ... such as it is. Confirmed by the U.S. Senate 48-46. https://www.ammoland.com/2022/07/steve-dettelbach-confirmed-as-bidens-atf-director/ Of course, it's a heavily-laden bag, with this guy: A former U.S...

New York legislators have passed legislation creating a host of new anti-RKBA restrictions, following the U.S. Supreme Court's recent smack-down of the state's onerous firearms possession/carry laws. Goes into effect September 1, 2022. Among other things, nearly every place under the sun is...

Legislation is being written to charge a 1000% tax on AR magazines over 10rd capacity. Well, if they can't seem to cough up an outright ban on standard-capacity magazines, then perhaps they'll be capable of charging extortionate fees upon manufacturers and importers of such...

Well, well. Can't say I'm surprised. But at least the destroyers are coming right out and saying it. Now the enemies are clearly there, declaring themselves enemies of the rule of law. Opinion: There's no way to fix the Second Amendment. Let's just get rid of it @ CNN, by Bill Press...

The Nevada Supreme Court just ruled on an important RKBA-related case. They ruled that product makers and distributors are not responsible for the criminal actions of the mass-murderer who used their products in his crimes. Very possibly, this will get appealed to the relevant circuit court of...

Federal judge in San Diego overturns California’s three-decade ban on assault weapons @ KTLA News, 6/4/21. Short version: apparently pigs do fly ... ban overturned permanently; 30-day 'stay' to allow the CA A.G. time to mount an appeal. Of course, the 'haters' will be out in droves, after...

While not directly applicable to the 2A, it certainly has impact as to what constitutes "exigent circumstances" for police to, without warrants, enter people's homes and properties. Supreme Court declines to broaden police authority to search homes @ NBC News, 5/17/21.

Looks like the courts might be starting to broaden their thinking regarding the right to keep and bear arms. At least, on some fronts. If You Care about Guns, You Should Care about Knives, Too @ National Review, 9/28/20.
